The sections of this document provide an overview of Skytap’s Power/AIX VM environment for Oracle, education on the principles of Oracle licensing, and how those principles are applied to workloads running on Power/AIX VMs in Skytap.

This paper outlines how Skytap can help streamline the process of creating and managing cloud-based Virtual Instructor-led Training (VILT) labs.

Companies with core applications that reside on IBM Power Systems running AIX, IBM i, or Linux, which includes the majority of Fortune 500 companies, can now move these workloads to the cloud with ease.

From internal training organizations at large enterprises to companies that develop or sell software, the ability to reliably offer high-performance, global remote training complete with complex lab environments is critical to maintaining business and sales continuity.
